5U-BAG – Did anyone else get this 1

I was passing EGNX by chance on the 29th October after taking a diverted route from Torquay-Leeds when I happened to stumble accross this little beauty – Photos were limited due to the position of the AVP and take off direction , but I expected this old bird to run a little longer than she did

Enjoy!

I know! – no wheels, I would have needed a 43ft ladder to clear the camber on the runway/taxiway

Well done Lance, I knew you had this image – I should have titled the thread – “Did anyone else get this 1 (except Grey Area)”

No no no – “Did anyone else BAG this 1” 😉

Great shots both of you.

Interesting that door 2L seems to be bigger than is usual on a -200 and also has its exterior handle blanked off. Any guesses why?

In other pictures door 2R looks to be standard.

1L.

I think this is because the aircraft has or did have? onboard airstairs fitted to both the forward and rear entrance doors. It is larger and looks different to the front door because the door folds down and the steps fold out above it.

Ha-ha…

Good shot mate!!! – you certainly did better than I, then again, I must admit at the time of travelling I didnt know it was at NEMA so it caught me off-guard (lame excuse)
